INTRODUCTION. 


The  following  is  a  catalogue  of  the  Birds  of  the  West 
Indies,  exclusive  of  those  found  on  the  Islands  of  Trini- 
dad and  Tobago,  which  have  not  been  recorded  as 
occurring  elsewhere  in  North  America,  north  of  Mexico. 

While  I  have  been  greatly  aided  in  making  this 
catalogue  by  Mr.  Charles  B.  Cory's  excellent  works  upon 
West  Indian  Birds,  it  will  be  seen  that  I  have  been  able 
to  make  a  few  changes  in  habitat  of  some  of  the  species 
through  my  own  observations,  and  have  also  added  some 
new  forms,  all  from  the  Bahamas.  Descriptions  of  these, 
as  well  as  notes  upon  some  of  the  changes  in  habitat,  no- 
menclature etc.,  may  be  found  in  No.  3,  Vol.  Ill,  of  my 
Contributions  to  Science  which  was  issued  a  short  time 
before  the  publication  of  this  catalogue.

OF    THE     BIRDS    OF    THE    WEST     INDIES. 

BY 

C.  J.  MATNABD. 
DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW  SPECIES. 


As  the  publication  of  the  conclusion  of  Vol.  Ill 
of  my  Contributions  to  Science  has  been  greatly  de- 
layed, and  as  I  wish  to  distribute  this  catalogue,  so 
long  withheld,  I  have  given  a  brief  description  of  the 
new  species  mentioned,  referring  the  reader  to  the  vol- 
ume of  Contributions,  mentioned  in  the  introduction, 
for  further  descriptions  and  figures. 

15    COLEffUS    BAHAMENS1S 

Bahama  Bob-white 

Size,  form,  and  general  coloration,  of  the  Florida 
Bobwhite,  Colinus  v.  floridanus,  but  differs  in  having 
narrower  black  bandings  below  which  show  a  tendency 
to  form  arrow  shaped  markings*  The  chestnut  is  also 
richer.  Habitat,  the  island  of  New  Providence.  Types 
male  and  female  in  my  collection. 

53    SPEOTYTO    BAHAMENSIS. 

Bahama    Burrowing   Owl. 

Intermediate*  in  coloration  between  S.  floridana 
and  S.  dominicensis,  thus  differing  from  both.  Habi- 
tat, New  Providence  and  probably  Eleuthera. .  Type, 
a  female  in  my  collection. 

268    DENDROICA  BAHAMENSIS 
Bahama  Pine  Warbler 

Similar  to  Dendroica  vigorsii,  but  paler  in  gen- 
eral coration,  especially  below  where  the  color  is  de- 


34 

cidedly    yellow,    not   greenish   yellow.      Habitat,  New 
.Providence.     Types,  male  and  female  in  my  collection. 


Species  described  provisionally  and  not  given  in 
the  list. 

HAEMOTOPUS    PRATTII 

Pratt's  Oyster  Catcher. 

Similar  to  the  H.  palliatus,  but  differs  in  having 
a  stouter,  thicker  bill,  and  in  being  much  lighter  in 
color  above,  but  with  the  dark  of  the  back  encroaching 
upon  the  white  of  the  rump.  Types  in  my  collection 
taken  on  Flemming's  Key,  Bahamas,  April  29,  1893, 
but  probably  occurs  throughout  the  islands  as  a  resi- 
dent. 

I  have  named  this  species  for  my  friend,  Marland 
L.  Pratt  to  whom  this  catalogue  is  dedicated. 

Actual  date  of  issue,  November  twenty-ninth,   1899. 


29    COLUMBIGALLINA  JAMAICENSIS. 
Jamaica  Ground  Dove. 

Similar  to  C.  bahamensis,  but  differs  in  being  light- 
er in  shade  and  in  having  the  bill  distinctly  yellow  at 
the  base.  Types,  male  and  female,  in  the  Bryant  Col- 
lection. 

This  is  not  the  C.  passerina  of  Linnaeus ;  he,  having  no  type,  based 
his  description  mainly  upon  Catesby's  figure  of  the  Ground  Dove  of  the 
Carolinas.  This  figure,  although  good,  is  sparrow- like  enough  in  form 
to  have  evidently  suggested  the  name  of  passerina  to  Linnaeus.

DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW  SPECIES. 


As  the  publication  of  tlie  conclusion  of  Vol.  Ill  of  my  Contribu- 
tions to  Science  has  been  greatly  delayed,  and  as  I  wish  to  distribute 
this  catalogue,  so  long  withheld,  I  have  giyen  a  biief  description  of  the

tions, mention  ed  in  the  Introduction,  foi  further  descriptions  and  fig- 
ures. 

15    COLINUS    BAHAMENSIS. 

Bahama  Bob-white. 

Size,  form,  and  general  coloration  of  the  Florida  Bob- white,  G?- 
lim,s  v.  floridans,  but  differs  in  having  narrower  black  bandings  be- 
low which  show  a  tendency  to  form  arrow-ahaped  markings.  The 
chestnut  is  also  richer.  Habitat,  the  Island  of  New  Providence. 
Types,  male  and  female  in  my  collection. 

53    SPEOTYTO    BAHAMEJfSIS. 

Bahama  Burrowing  Owl. 

Intermediate  between  S.  Jlcridatius  and  S.  dcminicencis, 
th«s  differing  from  both.  Habitat,  New  Providence,  and  probably 
Eleuthera.  Type,  a  female  in  my  collection. 

267    DENDROICA  BAHAME^SIS. 

Bahama  Pine  Warbler. 

Similar  to  Dendroica  vigorsii,  but  paler  in  general  coloration, 
especially  below,  where  the  color  is  decidedly  yellow,  not  greenish-yel- 
low. Habitat,  New  Providence.  Type,  male  and  female  in  my  collec- 
tion.

13.1    HAEMATOPUS  PKATTII. 

Pratt's  Oyster  Catcher. 

Similar  to  ff.  palliatus,  but  differs  in  having  a  stouter,  thicker 
bill ,  and  in  being  much  lighter  in  color  above,  but  with  the  dark  of  the 
back  encroaching  upon  the  white  of  the  rump.  Types  in  my  collection 
taken  on  Flemming's  Key,  Bahamas,  April  29,  1897,  but  probably 
occurs  throughout  the  islands  as  a  resident. 

I  have  named  this  species  for  my  friend,  Marland  L.  Pratt,  to 
whom  this  catalogue  is  dedicated. 

Actual  date  of  issue,  November  twenty-ninth,  1899. 

29    COLUMBIGALLINA  JAMAICEtfSIS. 

Jamaica  Ground  Dove. 

Similar  to  C.  bahamensis,  but  differs  in  being  lighter  in  shade 
and  in  having  the  bill  distinctly  yellow  at  the  base.  Types,  male  and 
female,  in  the  Bryant  Collection. 

This  is  not  the  C.  passerina  of  Linnaeus ;  he,  having  no  type,  based 
his  description  mainly  upon  Catesby's  figure  of  the  Ground  Dove  of  the

have  evidently  suggested  the  name  ofjxisserina  to  Linnaeus. 


ADDITIONS  AND  CORKEC  TI  ON 


In  November,  1899,  a  small  edition  of  the  first  Appendix  to  this 
catalogue  was  issued,  but  the  catalogue  itself  was  withheld.  It  is  now 
published  with  the  first  appendix  printed  as  it  then  appeared.  Through 
an  inadvertence  I  quite  overlooked  Mr.  Cory's  Review  of  the  Birds  of 
the  West  Indies  printed  in  the  Auk  for  October,  1891,  thus  in  two 
cases  I  have  used  names  in  describing  birds  that  he  had  used  for  differ- 
ent species  of  the  same  genera  (see  Nos.  53  and  268).  Corrections, 
in  the  catalogue  and  additions,  changes  etc.  in  it,  appear  in  the  follow- 
ing pages,  approximately  bringing  the  catalogue  up  to  date.  I  have 
not,  however,  for  several  reasons,  always  given  all  of  the  generic 
changes  that  Mr.  Ridgeway  has  given  in  hisBirds  of  North  and  Middle 
America,  or  that  have  been  recently  published  by  other  authors. 

Believing,  as  I  do,  that  sub-specific  names  should  be  given  only  to 
birds  which  intergrade  with  allied  forms  through  intermingling  at 
points  of  actual  contact,  I  cannot  consider  insular  forms  as  sub-specific, 
for  they  are  barred  by  isolation  from  this  intergradation. 

Types  of  the  species  described  mentioned  as  being  in  my  collection 
are  now  in  the  Bangs  Collection.
